Ascom Unveils Ascom Myco Smartphone for Medical Staff

Jul 6 15

Ascom has unveiled Ascom Myco, an Android-based smartphone designed for medical staff. The Ascom ecosystem of hospital solutions improves quality and efficiency of care. Ascom Myco is a brand new smartphone in the Ascom portfolio. It comes in two versions: Wi-Fi for use within the confines of a hospital and Wi-Fi/3G enabling calls and data traffic on the public mobile network outside the hospital or as back-up inside the hospital. Ascom Myco is a purpose-built smartphone for hospitals that reduces alarm fatigue by filtering alerts in such a way, that nurses only get notified of alarms triggered by their assigned patients. It is irrelevant whether the alarm was prompted by a patient or a monitoring device. The innovative Ascom Myco top display allows reading notifications at a glance and its graphical user interface is patient-centric. Nurses can use the phone functionality to either call the patient to find out what he or she needs or to forward or escalate the alarm. Based on Android open-source OS, Ascom Myco supports the integration of existing hospital apps such as access to patient health records at the bed side.

Ascom announced certified integration with leading RTLS (real-time location systems) to ensure the high level of interoperability. Through RTLS integration to the company unite messaging suite, the company can now extend real-time location-based event messaging to mobile devices including smartphones, enabling quicker decision-making for healthcare providers. In a modern healthcare environment RTLS provide critical information on the location of assets, staff and patients.

Location-based messages enable mobile caregivers to react more quickly to events that require immediate attention. The company Unite Messaging Suite supports interactive messaging on RTLS events such as high value asset movement, patient tracking, and staff location. When deployed with the Ascom Telligence Nurse Call System it can automate nurse presence registration in patient room, turning on and off dome lights and cancelling calls. Additionally the company unite can send an â assistance requestâ to a colleague by just pressing a pre-programmed button on the RTLS badge. This intelligent integration enables improved information to caregivers and streamlines workflows.
